Ugly Americans The True Story of the Ivy League Cowboys Who Raided the Asian Markets for Millions Author: Ben Mezrich Ben Mezrich, author of the New York Times bestseller Bringing Down the House, returns with an astonishing story of Ivy League hedge-fund cowboys, high stakes, and the Asian underworld. John Malcolm was the ultimate gunslinger in the Wild East, prepared to take on any level of risk in making mind-boggling sums of money. He and his...  more » friends were hedge-fund cowboys, living life on the adrenaline-, sex-, and drugs-fueled edge -- kids running billion-dollar portfolios, trading information in the back rooms of high-class brothels and at VIP tables in nightclubs across the Far East. Malcolm and his Ivy League-schooled twenty-something colleagues, with their warped sense of morality, created their own economic theory that would culminate in a single deal the likes of which had never been seen before -- or since. Ugly Americans is a story of extremes, charged with wealth, nerve, excess, and glamour. A real-life mixture of Liar's Poker and Wall Street, brimming with intense action, romance, underground sex, vivid locales, and exotic characters, Ugly Americans is the untold true story that rocked the financial community.  « less Post This Book + Reminder Login | Register ISBN-13: 9780060575014 ISBN-10: 0060575018 Publication Date: 5/1/2005 Pages: 288 Rating: Currently 4.5/5 Stars.  15 4.5 stars, based on 15 ratings Publisher: Harper Perennial Book Type: Paperback Other Versions: Hardcover, Audio CD Reviews: Member | Amazon | Write a Review
